Chapter 231 Being Sold
Zhou was very proud when she heard this.
You were so tough just now, but now you’re compromising.
"How much do you want?"
Zhou held up a finger.
"Ten taels?"
If you only want to buy a coffin, you can buy a similar one for five taels of silver.
The poor family just wrapped the body in a mat and buried it, so ten taels was indeed a lot of money.
"One hundred taels."
"What? One hundred taels?"
One hundred taels for a coffin? Is it inlaid with gold?
Aunt Xue frowned.
"My mother-in-law suffered a lot in her later years. My husband said that to make it up to her and let her live more comfortably in the afterlife, he wanted to buy her a good coffin. What? You don't want to give it to her?"
Seeing Zhou was about to leave, Aunt Xue hurriedly called her back, "I'll give it to you!"
She understood Zhou's temper, and she would do what she said today.
Zhou snorted coldly and turned around, "Why don't you go get it!"
Aunt Xue sighed.
She saved a little over one hundred taels in total, intending to use it to help her son get married.
But for Lin Lu's sake, she turned around and went back to the house to get it.
When Aunt Xue came out again, she was holding a wooden box in her arms, which was filled with silver ingots.
When she handed it to Zhou, her heart felt like it was bleeding.
When Zhou took it, she felt a little reluctant for a moment.
Zhou used all her strength to snatch it away.
Aunt Xue finally compromised.
Zhou snorted coldly, opened the box and took a look. Her eyes lit up instantly. It was full of silver ingots. With these, she could use five taels to buy a coffin for Old Lady Wang, and the rest she could use to rent a carriage to return to Chang'an.
You will have all the food, clothing and shelter you need on the road.
Just as Zhou was about to leave, she felt that one hundred taels was not enough. Now that Lin Luchen was in charge of the shop and workshop of the Lin family's eldest branch, why should she be given one hundred taels?
Don’t let him get away with it too easily!
Aunt Lin frowned, "What else?"
"One hundred taels is a little too little. I want one thousand taels. It can be regarded as Lin Luchen's repayment for the Lin family's support for him for more than ten years."
Aunt Xue stared at Zhou in disbelief, her eyes wide open. "What are you talking about? One thousand taels?"
She had never seen so much silver and money in her life.
If it weren't for the eldest wife helping them and their son, they would have died on the way to exile and would not have been able to come up with the one hundred taels.
Originally, Aunt Xue was very reluctant to give the hundred taels. When she heard that Zhou wanted a thousand taels, she thought that if she gave it to her, she would get ten thousand taels or even a hundred thousand taels later.
She stepped forward and snatched the silver from Madam Zhou's hand, "If you think it's too little, go look somewhere else. Don't forget that we broke off our relationship a long time ago."
The silver in her hand was suddenly snatched away. Zhou angrily asked, "Do you really not care about your son anymore?"
"I……"
Aunt Xue was a little hesitant for a moment.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared behind her: "Mom, don't pay attention to her."
Aunt Xue saw that it was Lin Luchen who came, "Lu'er..."
"Mom, just let her talk."
Zhou's heart skipped a beat. Lin Luchen seemed to be unwilling to pay even a penny.
She felt a little regretful at this moment, regretting her greed. If she had taken the silver and left just now, she could have gotten another 100 taels to get through the difficult times.
"Lu Chen, your grandmother..."
"I don't have a grandmother."
Zhou choked, "Lin Luchen, after all, your last name is Lin, how come..."
"I don't have to have the last name Lin. Tomorrow I'll change it to Xue."
Seeing Lin Luchen on the verge of anger, Zhou felt so regretful.
"Just consider it as a loan from me today, okay? When I have it in the future, I'll pay you back double."
“No!”
Seeing that Lin Luchen refused to budge, Zhou became angry. "Lin Luchen, are you really not afraid that I will spread your life story? You bastard who doesn't care about your relatives!"
When Zhou said this, not only Aunt Xue and the old women were shocked, but even Zhou herself was shocked.
Why did she say that she was talking nonsense?
In the end, Aunt Xue was angered.
She stepped forward and slapped Zhou's face twice. "Your husband used to be tyrannical and took women by force. Now, instead of reflecting on your mistakes, you come to embarrass us, an orphan and a widow. It's true that even a deeply loving couple is birds of a feather!"
Zhou never thought that one day she would be dominated by Aunt Xue and even beaten by her hair.
Just as she was about to fight back, she heard Lin Luchen say, "Come here, arrest her and take her to the government office. Say she came to steal money and we caught her in the act."
Lin Luchen waved his hand, and two big men stepped forward and held Zhou tightly.
Zhou Shi was stunned for a moment. What? Stealing money? How could she steal money?
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I apologize for what I did just now. If you don't want to lend me the money, forget it. I'm leaving now."
Zhou wanted to struggle, but couldn't get free.
The Lin family's guilt has been cleared, and she has regained her former status as Mrs. Lin. But now she is being held down by two servants, and she cannot accept it at all.
"Ms. Zhou, we've caught you red-handed. If you want to deny it, then save your energy for the court."
"take away!"
Zhou screamed and refused to leave, so a big man took off his smelly socks and stuffed them directly into Zhou's mouth.
The moment she was taken onto the carriage, Zhou regretted it to her core.
Her daughter is still waiting for her to save her life.
She pleaded with Lin Luchen with her eyes, but Lin Luchen was a cruel man, so how could he pay attention to her.
He is soft-hearted and only gives to his uncle's family.
Everyone else, forget it!
Before Lin Zhiyi returned to Beijing, he repeatedly instructed Governor Lu and the magistrate of Fangling County to take good care of Lin Luchen.
When the county magistrate saw that it was Lin Luchen, he asked the reason and announced on the spot that Zhou had stolen a huge amount of money and punished her to do hard labor to repair the bridge.
Zhou was completely dumbfounded.
If she was taken away, what would happen to her daughter? And her son?
She desperately begged Lin Luchen for mercy, but it was too late. Lin Luchen squatted down and said, "Don't worry, Madam Zhou. I have already made arrangements to take good care of you, not only you, but also your children..."
After Lin Luchen finished speaking, he walked away.
All that was left behind were Zhou's cries and curses.
She didn't know that the more she cursed, the more retribution would come upon her children.
Lin Jingchu was waiting for his mother's life-saving money at home, but he waited for two days but her mother didn't come back.
If the funeral is not handled soon, Mrs. Wang’s body will start to rot.
Lin Jingchu finally closed his eyes in disappointment.
Doesn’t her mother want her anymore?
She begged her father and second uncle desperately, but it was all in vain.
As expected, Lin Jingchu was sold into a brothel.
Her heart sank!
On the first night, Lin Luchen spent a lot of money to take the beggar to Zuishenglou.
When Lin Jing first saw that it was Lin Luchen, she instantly felt hopeful, "Lin Luchen, hurry up and get me out."
Lin Jingchu has always been used to being bossy in front of Lin Luchen.
The tone of his voice was full of command.
A strange smile appeared on Lin Luchen's lips. "Save you? Why should I save you?"
Lin Jingchu was about to lose her temper when she saw Lin Luchen slap twenty taels of silver on the table with a "slap" sound, "Mom, I want to buy her virginity."
Lin Jingchu looked at Lin Luchen in disbelief, "Lin Luchen, are you crazy? I'm your sister."
Lin Luchen sneered: "Who said it was me, it was them!"
Lin Luchen pointed at the beggar behind him.
